What this mod does
Spring Graphics & Weather is Grimes‘ spring season for American Truck Simulator. It completes his season collection alongside Frosty Winter, and its counterpart is on the Spring for ETS2 page. Version 4.5 works on ATS 1.61.
What it changes
- Spring weather and vegetation, with more flowers in the landscape.
- Seasonal daylight hours and temperatures, with more realistic lighting.
- Improved grass and trees: higher density, longer draw distance and smoother detail transitions.
- Improved rain on the road and windshield, with improved asphalt textures.
What’s new in 4.5
Besides updating it for 1.61, Grimes has improved fair weather, reworked bad weather, added reflections on wet sidewalks and asphalt, and made roads take longer to dry. It includes an optional realistic road reflections add-on.
Compatibility
It works with all map DLCs. Disable other weather, graphics or HDR mods, such as Realistic Brutal Graphics and Weather, and place it at the top of the Mod Manager. If you use Realistic Day/Night Times, the author says to put it above Spring. For older game versions there’s 4.4 (1.60), 4.3 (1.59) and 4.2 (1.58).
